Letters Patent No. 88,164, dated March 23, 1869.

DEPROV'EMENT IN SASH-HOLDER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent: and making part uf thesama.

To all whbm 'it ma/y concern .1

Be it known that I, J ons W. HANsEL, of the city of Peoria, in thecounty of Peoria, and State of Illinois, have invented a new andimproved Window and Door-Lock and Sash-Holder; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full and exact description thereof', referencebeing had .to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the employi ment of a knob and'spring located and combined in such a manner as to operatesimultaneously a cam` f lever and suspension-bolt, so that the sash of awindow may be raised and locked at any desired elevation,

or when the window-sash is lowered, it is, by means of.

-the actionof the said spring, automatically secured in its position.

It further consists in the use or employment of ay suspension-bolt,provided with a lug, of peculiar form,

located so as to be operated by means of a wheel, provided with pintles.In this lock is also provided a dog, which is made to turn out and intoa notch that is made ih the suspension-bolt, so that the said boltcannot4 be moved without the use of a suitable key.

v To enable others skilled in the art to make anduse my invention, Iwill proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Figure I isa perspective view of my improved lock and sash-holder.

Figure II is a plan view of the lock. y.

Figure III is a side elevation of a portion of the casing and sash, withthe lock and sash-holder in position.

' Figure IV is a side elevation of the spring and knobj Letters of likename and kind refer to like' parts in each ofthe figures.

A represents the frame, or body of my improved lock .and sash-holder,that may be made .of any of the sheet-metals suitable for the purpose,and of any` desired dimensions, the design of which is to be niortisedinto the side of the jamb-casiugs of windows and the edges of doors, sothat the lock will come even with 'the surface of the-casings and edgeof thedoor.

B,represents an arm, or lever of peculiar and novel form, that moves ona pivot-joint at a.'

The outer end of this said arm is made eccentric in form, with its end,or periphery tinted, as seen at e, Fig. I, so as to readily engage theedge of the sash when performing the functions designed,

O is an oval lug; or projection, extending outward from near the jointa, the object of which is to engage a. corresponding projection, O,attached to a swinging -pendent bolt, .D. Y

The 'said bolt D workson a joint at w, and is provided with 4a weight,E, so that .it will operate more readily by means of gravitation. 1

F is that portion of the pendent, or suspended arm,

that forms the bolt, that engages a mortise or hole in th'eedge of thesash. v

Gr is a spring designed to act upon the pin c, whic is attached to thearm-lever-B. I p

The said spring is constructed in such a manner as to adjust oraccommodate itself to the said pin c when the spring is worked in orout.y

t is where the shank of the knob is inserted to turn and operate thearm, or lever B.

The arm, or lever B, and the suspension-bolt D, are simultaneous intheir movements.

H is a knob secured to the spring Gr that extends outside thecasing,.which is to used when the blinds are upon the outside of thewindows.

In Fig. II is seen a door-lock without the sash-holder.

In this ligure, J is the lock-plate, with the cap removed.

K represents a pendent, or suspension-bolt, of nearly the same peculiarand novel form as that shown in Fig. I. This suspension-bolt forms adead-lock when in its position, and rmly secured by means of a dog, L.

When in position of being loeked,-the dog is thrown over into the notchb, which holds the said bolt firmly in a locked position.

The said dog L is operated, or turned by means of a suitable key, madein any desired form, 4to operate the dog.

Ihe suspension-bolt'is ordinarily operated by means lof tappets n n n n,onxthe'wheel W, by the said tappets, or lugs engaging with the curvedprojection M on the suspension-bolt K.

In Fig. III, I represents a portion of a windowcasm l Qthe bead-stop forthe sash, with my improved lock applied thereto. v

On the spring G, I put another piece of metal, d, for the purpose ofgiving additional strength to the spring, and to which it is firmlysecured.

It will be observed that my invention, as represented in Fig. II, ispeculiarly adapted to doors, making a reliable, secure, and cheap lock,by means of the dog-L.

I do not claim broadly the arm, or lever, and suspension-bolt, as shown.in Fig. I, as Letters Patent were granted me for these features of myinvention, January
